I love the inexpensive date ideas you guys added to my morning post.
Here are some more fun ones:
- Liz: “I’m surprising my boyfriend tonight with an indoor picnic, complete with food that I have a Groupon for!”
- Jill Bond: “Our local surf shop has cheap paddle board and kayak rentals. We stop at Whole Foods, pack a snack, put in a dry bag, and paddle to a quiet spot for dinner.”
- Kelsey: “One of my favorite date nights is when my husband and I do our own version of the Food Network show Chopped. I usually make the main dish and he takes the appetizer. We each pick 4 ingredients for the other person, then they can use anything at home. So fun!”
- Celina: “The weekends that we do get to spend alone together are normally spent working on our home or we spend them at local flea markets (Lafayette, LA). We love turning trash into treasure. I love our little hobby together! Plus, it’s tons of walking and we always enjoy lunch somewhere super cute.”
- Jamie: “Another thing we enjoy is just leashing up the dog, driving to a nearby town and just walking around and sharing a sweet treat from one of the little shops.”
- Melissa: “I think some great dates would be: fruit picking (i.e. apple, blueberry, strawberry, peach) and/or wine tasting!”
Workout + Lunch
Today’s workout was a good one! I headed to the gym for my favorite Wednesday morning boot camp class and made sure to warm up for a little bit on the elliptical before jumping around and sweating like crazy. Boot camp flew by and definitely got my heart rate up. That’s all I ask!
After boot camp, I quickly showered and then worked through the morning before it was time to head home for a late lunch.
I reheated leftovers from last night’s dinner which kept things simple. On the menu for today was a sweet potato paired with lean turkey, red pepper, onions, chopped bacon, salt, pepper and goat cheese.
The goat cheese melted into the dish and created a somewhat creamy sauce that added a lot of flavor to the meat and vegetables. Loved it!
And now it’s time for a giveaway that I think you guys will enjoy!
You Choose: Reebok Shoe Giveaway
As part of my on-going relationship with Reebok, I feel very fortunate to be able to try out different shoes that the company sends me to review on occasion. I know a bunch of you guys are in the market for new shoes, so this month I approached Reebok about hosting a giveaway that would allow one of you to select whatever pair of shoes you want from their website!
They were instantly game for my giveaway idea, so now it’s time for one of you to win a snazzy new pair of shoes!
Here are some of my personal favorites:
- Nanos (And yes, this giveaway does include the new Nano 3.0s!)
I wear Nanos on days when I know I’ll be doing functional workouts. Avid Cross-Fitters seem to love these shoes and though I don’t do CrossFit, I still love the Nanos because they make me feel a lot more stable when I do certain exercises like lunges, squats or box jumps! I love the way the shoe doesn’t have a lot of cushioning and since the midsole material is a flattened platform, it’s thinner which allows my foot to lay flatter and closer to the ground. If you’ve only ever done functional workouts like CrossFit in traditional running shoes, I’d definitely try a pair of Nanos!
These shoes actually remind me a little bit of the Nanos, but with a little more structural support and cushioning. I love them for boot camp workouts!
These are the newest shoes in my collection and I’ve been wearing them to work nearly every day (as I’m sure you can tell from their well-worn look in the above picture). They’re more cushioned than some of the other Reebok shoes out there and feel comfortable even after hours on my feet. I wear them when I teach certain group exercise classes or during my own workouts that include light running or cardio.
I’ve been wearing my RealFlex Fusions for almost a year now and love the lightweight, supportive feel of the shoe. They’re another shoe I love for workouts that include a lot of variety and some running and plyometric exercises like speed skaters.
Of course if another shoe strikes your fancy on the Reebok website, you can choose a pair that isn’t currently on my radar! It’s totally up to you! (Dancers and Zumba lovers may want to check out the dance shoes on the Reebok website. I cannot pull off the high tops, but if you can, do your thang!)
To enter this giveaway, please leave a comment below, telling me which pair of Reebok shoes you would choose if you won the giveaway. I will randomly select a winner on Friday.
Good luck!
Please note that shoe selection is subject to availability.

I love all the shoes in your pictures above! Such great colors. I would have to pick the Sublite Duo as I am in need of new running shoes:) The Nano’s would be fun as well as I have really been thinking of trying out Crossfit!
I would love to try the Sublite Train 1.0’s! The fact that they are like the Nanos with more cushion sounds prefect for what I’m looking for!
Sublite Train for my non-running fitness workouts. I really need a shoe for these so I can stop wearing an old pair of running shoes!!
I want them all!!!!! My favorite is the Real Flex Fusion TR!!!!!! Perfect sneakers and in need of a new pair. Thanks for always having these fabulous giveaways!!

I DEFINITELY want the Sublite Train 1.0! I’ve had my eye on getting some new Reebok shoes for a while because of your blog! I’m about to start training for my first ever half marathon and I plan on doing a lot of cross training so these shoes would be PERFECT!!
I’d love to try the Sublite Duo!

Ooooooh! As it turns out, I’m in need of a new pair of shoes and I would love a pair of the SubLite Train 1.0s!! 🙂
I would love a pair of the Nanos! Everybody I know raves about them!
The sublime duo, I need a new pair of shoes just for gym workouts that allow me a bit more flexibility than my running shoes plus I love the bright colors!
I would choose the Nano! I have had the same pair of cheap sneakers for about five years, so my feet would probably be very happy with a new pair of workout kicks. 🙂
I love the RealFlex Fusions! I’m game for trying anything that is lightweight and good for running!
I would choose the Sub-Lite Duos! I think they would be perfect for my workouts (light running/weights) and comfortable for when I’m chasing around my toddler!
I am a crossfit fanatic and would LOVE to get my feet in those nano 3.0’s!!
I like them all but I do love the nanos the best.
All of those look great but I love the look of the Sublite Duos and how versatile they are. Def need a show that I can use for a variety of workouts!
I would love the SubLite1.0. I would use them for Body Pump classes!
I think I’d pick the RealFlex Fusion TR since most of my exercising tends to revolve around running.
probably the sublite duo. I do kickboxing and after usually run a couple miles so these seem like they would work for me! 🙂
I would love to try the sublite train 1.0s! I love the colors and I like stability for moves like lunges and squats. However I usually workout after a 12 hour nightshift so I also like a little padding because being a nurse keeps me on my feet all night.
I love the look of those purple nanos!
I would love a pair of the RealFlex Fusions!
I think I would pick the RealFlex Fusion TR – these look great & sounds like they would work well for my various workouts.
Oooh! The RealFlex Fusion TRs. I’m a newbie to running (if you can call it that yet) and those look like great shoes for the job! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I think I would pick the Sublite Duo. I have been training for the Savannah 1/2 in Nov and I think these would be great shoes to run in especially when I start running longer distances. The more cushion the better for my poor feet. Lol.
I would love the Sublite Duo’s! I am in major need of new easy cardio/workout shoes. On days where I don’t run the elliptical is my best friend and these sound perfect for that!
I would love the nano’s! Trying to get more into cross fit/box jumps etc workouts so nano’s look great for that! I am one that has only done it with regualr tennis shoes egats! 🙂
I’d love a pair of the Nano’s! They seem so lightweight.
I would love to win the SubLite Train 1.0! I love taking boot camp classes. Works all body parts and gets my heart rate up. Plus you feel amazing afterwards drenched in sweat… and ready for the day!

Sublite Duo’s for me! It would be awesome to get some new shoes!

I would love to have the SubLite Train 1.0 because I have recently gotten into bootcamp and crossfit style classes, but have been wearing my running shoes so these would be great!
Nanos for sure! The bright colors make working out a little more fun!
I’d love to try the nanos! I have supplemented running with more cross-training. I’ve been wearing retired running shoes for the cross training and…well, it’s just not working out well. I need more stability and suport. I think these may be just what I need.
definitely the SubLite Duos. Love em!
